4-6Case File 13 series.
While camping, Angelo, Carter, and Nick (the wise-cracking, monster-obsessed "Monsterteers") discover a homunculus; Carter smuggles it home. Wacky chaos ensues when--thanks to the imbalance caused by the homunculus's absence--doppelgangers escape their forest home, invade the boys' town, and attempt to replace the townspeople. This third book offers more fast-paced paranormal fun, though connections among various folklore influences are rather tenuous.
